/lit/ - Literature

that's nothing new

Jake was close to tears. In that moment he saw the world in its true light, as a place where nothing had ever been any good and nothing of significance done: no art worth a second look, no philosophy of the slightest appositeness, no law but served the state, no history that gave an inkling of how it had been and what had happened. And no love, only egotism, infatuation and lust.

>>13538793
This post reeks of virgin.

And with all those distractions gone, you still couldn't find time to read and make a book thread. Are you waiting for that until you too also are dead?

>>13538793
OP knows what's up

Don't worry op, with economic collapse, climte change and overpopulation looming, this will very likely become the bloodiest century in human history. Exciting times are ahead

>>13538793
>the Mafia is dead
no it isn't, retard
stopped reading there

>>13538793
How the fuck are these things related? What does the mafia have to do with video games and toys? What are you even getting at? Terrible post.

>>13539535
this
mafia is greater than ever they just don't kill people in the open anymore but there is lots and lots of corruption (at least in the US) on all levels of government and in the private sector it's probably at its worst nowadays 2bh so many scammers and shit
t. do lots of work with government and private agencies

>>13539544
Criminality or the capacity for transgression suggests a variability to society, one that isn't wholly domesticated or indolent. It also introduces randomness or danger, which stands in stark contrast to the gradual grind of state power or social pressure which is the only real violence that manifests in the modern westerner's life.

>>13539544
I believe he was trying to convey a sense of general decline in many areas of the world.

>>13539605
What is "general decline?"

Life has become an unbearable ease. We've succeeded at collectively eliminating challenges to our well-being, but constant convenience has stopped us from being able to do anything meaningful as individuals. There are no struggles that you can overcome. You can't do anything significant; everything is specialized beyond all hell.

>>13539609
Decline in every major field. He mentioned entertainment, arts, science, economics, sports, etc.

those who are unable to believe in the reality of human progress ought to cheer themselves up by a short study of the middle ages. the lack of mafia, bad cinemas, smartphones, biotech itself would then seem a light price to pay for no longer being in the middle ages.

>>13539706
>onions
Obviously y meant s.o.y

>>13539675
There is no reason to believe nor is their any empirical study that demonstrates that material wealth correlates significantly with hapiness. Hapiness is also different for different people and culture and therefore impossible to accurately gauge or even get a sense of. Sources from the Middle Ages are certainly present and while there is great cruelty, there is also wonderful sublimity. Although I suppose if you are talking about "progress" (whatever that even means) you probably just have a stick up your ass about muh evil Christians and so I guess religion=unhapiness.

>>13539720
er no. i'm reading history at university & specialized in the medieval papers & i don't think people had ever been as nasty, as self-indulgent, as dull, as miserable, as cocksure, as bad at art, as dismally ludicrous, or as wrong as they'd been in the middle ages

contradicts

>You can't do anything significant; everything is specialized beyond all hell.

The nature of our problems have changed, not their presence. The challenge for you is to find more interesting problems.

>>13539784
why don't you study the middle ages and see if i'm wrong

>>13539757
You write like a woman and argue like one two. Can you please provide an instant where material wealth correlates to self reported hapiness? Because there are several counter examples such as people under the impoverished Czechoslovakian regime were recorded as being happy at a greater rate than the economically booming Sweden at the same time (80s).

>>13539807
you must be a nigger or have a shit taste if you think all that

>Nothing on Earth to explore

There's still the deep sea, and there is at least one species of animal I read about in the Guinness Book of World Records that is only known as a result of a dead specimen, no live specimens have been found. There's also loads of stuff about dinosaurs to learn. So there is still parts of the animal kingdom to explore.

>>13538793
A lot of that is wrong tho. Criminal organizations are thriving in many parts of the world. The mafia of gangster movies are not what they used to be, but they've been replaced by others.
There is a lot to explore, you just need the scientific curiosity and patience for that.

When on god’s green earth we’re trading floors filled with working class Italian Americans? I’d venture a guess that there are more Italian Americans (both in numbers and market share) in finance companies than at any point prior to maybe 1970

I hope that one day all of you fucks can time travel back to the Rennaissance period and see how much happier you would be. The horrors of the Hundred Years war alone, not to mention the spread of dysentary, would smash your faggy ideas about the past. Yes, times of great suffering can be conducive to great art but the idea that the average peasant/city-dweller was experiencing the beauty of this newfound life and culture is fucking retarded.

If one’s ideals are peace and prosperity then it wouldn’t be inaccurate to claim that we are living through a“golden age”, a time devoid of culture but rife with civilization.

It is also likely that we will face a sort of “convergence of catastrophes” later this century which will upended the lull we’ve been experiencing since the end of the War.

As for literature, I wouldn’t doubt that valuable works are being produced now, even if they are obscure or remain unpublished in our time. However, many of them might not be discovered for several decades or even centuries.

i wish the US decided to fuck out after the cold war's end and let Germany and Japan become the masters of the free world

The worst of all is the negrification of Earth. Primarily the result of American influence. Everywhere you go you see these ugly and culture-less people. Niggers on tv, in film, music, in public. It is one of the most unlikely problems someone from the 19th century and before would think we would face. I have a gf, a loving family and a few friends, but I can't be happy having to deal with negro fatigue.

Modernity has been one huge illusion, the idea that we know better than men of centuries past. But this whole time we've been animating a corpse. The illusion will break this century.

Start a family. Make your own microcosm. Don't look to society to fix your problems. Society doesn't care about you.

Find a good woman (not easy).
Have a child(ren) (expensive / a huge comittment).
Be a strong husband and father.
Struggle like a bitch.
Do a good job and reap the rewards that a happy wholesome family brings.

That is what you can strive for today, everyday, and it will be heaven on Earth for you if you do it right.

Perhaps in the cities this is true. However, the countryside, or at least what remains, still can produce women with a pseudo-peasant upbringing and all the values that come with it.

Mafia is a lot more generic and there are tons of variations and types on it, but the classic Italian gangster you'd hear about or see in movies is waaay over.

The chicago mob sure, it’s a nigger gang town now. The mafia and the yakuza still exist but -more- within the realm of legality. They acquire illicitly and sell legally.

I am not necessarily contradicting you anon. To be fair my exposure to Eastern Europe is limited to the countries around the Carpathian basin. I am not a native and I do not currently live in this region of the world. However, my extended family remains in the countryside, surrounded by both peasant houses and miniaturized panel houses. I lived with them for two years and taught in the local high school. Granted, you have more authority on the subject, but I am confident that my perspective remains valid.

Yes, there are many whores, especially amongst the young. That being said, I’m sure that a minority of students remain chaste or remain loyal to a single partner.

Your perspective is too pessimistic. While many girls have become hyper-westernized and materialistic, the virtuous ones remain. I know this from experience. In fact, the good ones in the east are arguably the perfect mates - they strike a perfect balance, retaining their traditional values while not being too religious.

Go to the country for a year and see what happens.

It's funny, ever since my shitty estate got gentrified, I could almost swear there is much more drugs than there used to be in the 90s when my estate was filled with chavs and dealers.

All those stabbings in London seem to be mostly territorial and cases of mistaken identity. All the hipster folk seem to be immune to the effects of drug violence. I guess being their number one customers would hurt their bottom line.

Literally every point in your post is wrong and you should stop seriously go outside and try doing something for once instead of complaining about made up problems. But you won't, because you like complaining, you're comfortable in your own delusions and your misanthropy. Go suck a cock and choke on it like the niggerfaggot your are. I hate you with all my heart.

The Mormons aren't doing nearly as well as you think, they're following the exact same trends of other Christian sects just at a slightly slower pace.

>im going to die a virgin thats about it
Guessing no friends either? That's a lotta years you're going to spend isolated and unsexed.

All those things are finished, this is a quick break between now and when shit starts popping off again.

>Whites are due for a fertility rebound in a few generations
Why would this be? The modern world depresses fertility, it's simple.

>>13554435
whatever i already spent over 2 decades unsexed, i just think i couldnt be happy if i would sex a virgin girl, i would infact probably get very sad and cry if i tried to have sex with a non virgin slutty girl

Why the fuck are people so obsessed with muh sex (literally glorified massage - imagine dedicating your existance to getting glorified massage) is beyond

>>13554442
I really don't understand what began the white nerds obsession with race this past decade. Like when I used to live in an area with mostly white people, the kids of my ethnicity used to stick together. It was a tenuous bond to begin with since I never had hobbies that matched theirs but it was a chavvy white school so we needed to stick together.

As soon as I moved to a different school with more kids of my ethnicity, that fucking group dissipated like sugar in water and I was back to being on my own again, though I found a couple of other losers to hang out with who weren't my race.

>>13554562
Cos it isn't just "muh sex". Otherwise every virgin would be visiting brothels.

>>13554577
>this past decade
People have always preferred the company of people similar to them, nerds weren't immune, they've always self-segregated, ever noticed white urbanites don't play Yu-Gi-Oh?

>>13554612
Similarly people don't remember that the black community had a large presence within the anime community especially in the 80's, they got entirely pushed out by the fujoshi and trans clique in the late 00's.

blessing in disguise i'd say

Stopped reading here.
>What is a deep state

Pro tip: that is what mafia had become lately

I think sexual liberation has ruined things to a degree. I can't think of a single relationship I've had that wasn't just based around sex. It's so synthetic

>>13538841

Nothing, literally nothing you stated is dead, if anything, all these things changed and adapted into something else

>People have always preferred the company of people similar to them
Sure, people are animals, and I guess there's some sort of innate instinct to group together with people that look like you but like if that's the sole reason you stick with people, *especially* when you were/are an outcast to begin with, it doesn't seem like a wise choice.

I guess being an outcast now isn't the same as it use to be.

>>13555515
The concept of "outcast" has been watered down horrendously, at no point in history would a person capable of gathering a entire group of people from the local populous under the same roof as the "insiders" be described as an outcast, nerds have a persecution complex they've never truly been outcasts.

i am a virgin, but me and my fellow 20 year old virgin friend imagine its about showing a girl compassion and just make her feel the absolute best she could feel to bind your relationship more
you cant do that with a girl you dont love, so we dont get hookers or talk to sluts

>nerds have a persecution complex they've never truly been outcasts.
Depends on where you lived. Plus I'd say in the past outcasts/misfits were drawn to nerd/geek shit, so they were outcast for other reasons.

I am taking a shit at the gym right now, in the process of overcoming the fact that I am a weak bitch.

You don’t have to worry about any of that because you ecological collapse is going to swiftly kill 95% of life on earth from the top down

>the Mafia is dead
>the Chicago mob is dead
>the Yakuza is dead
Thank god criminals are dead

>New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Paris, Miami, are all safe theme parks
Good, living in a safer world is nice

>film is dead
No it isn't, you just "feel" collectively all the greatest films of the past as one singular thing and compare it with the last few films, it's because you look at only the mainstream capeshit, there's tons of patrician films if you just look around

>cinemas are all pathetic, homogeneous and dying
The visitors were reduced due to the internet but now it's stabilized because it's a social phenomenon and not about the film itself

>literature and poetry are dead
They were never alive desu, travel back in time anywhere you want 99% of people won't give a shit about any of that, only a handful rich people, which gives you a skewed impression, you seems to glorify the past too much.

>public libraries are pathetic and redundant
It's a good thing they're redundant, we have more information much faster, fuck cucking out and wasting year of your life trying to find a fucking quote, kys

>Western governments have nothing to do except build a bit more infrastructure
Unlike non-western govts that...are shitty all around? Jesus christ, you just seem to hate peace and prosperity, you want crime and turbulence because "it's more cool", kys degenerate

>there a nothing on the earth to explore
This is the first item in your list that is correct, yes physically there aren't much places to discover.
Granted that we haven't explored the oceans beneath and many territories of earth, but we generally know what we're going to find, nothing mindblowing unlike a thousand years ago, you didn't even knew if were gonna find monsters or magic, exciting times for explorers.

>any crime you commit or disciplinary trouble at work gets you blacklisted for life from all interesting work
That's a bit harsh but if done right is for the best, we wouldn't want a rapist coming to your town and be friendly with your family

>no more science is done by hobbyists
>there are no more polymaths
Sure it would be exciting but obviously we have advanced science so far that we exhausted the easy ways to do science

>there are no more grand philosophical insights
wrong, again, you're not looking enough, the past's grand phil insights weren't apparent to everyone and even needed years to even start being taken seriously, you have a distorted sense of how the past works my fren

>>13557354
part 2/3

>the internet is homogenised, centralised, and dead
You have something against ease of use, it's like you want trivial things to be challenging, that's stupid, that's for literally brainded people who have nothing going in their lives, imagine having kids, career and tons of other shit and now you have to navigate through countless sites in order to do couple of simple things, hard pass

>4chan is dying a slow painful death
People keep saying this for the past decade, it was never that good, it's mostly nostalgia and glorifying of the past.

>exciting investment banking trading floors (loud, filled with working class Italian Americans / Londoners) are silent and filled with tie wearers
who cares

>videogame arcades are dead
Thank fucking god, I hate them with a passion and anyone who likes them

>tinkering with computer parts is dead
Kys

>every operating system is a walled garden consumercuck mush
You can find tons of autism if you want to, it seems to me that you don't want a "complex OS" it's just you want everyone else to have that hard to use complex OS, why? Because there's tons of shitty OS you can get that are a chore to maintain but your problem is that you want everyone to use it, have sex

>smartphones are a dumbed down consumer interface for the world
What a stupid fucking point, it's for obvious reasons yeah, why would you expect something else,
why make everything a fucking chore kys

>TV is going through a short lived revival but will die again soon
Everything is going to die

>music is dead
only the mainstream compared to previous decades mainstream, the substream is teeming with countless genres, again you don't care about the actual genres you care it's not widespread

>universities are sterile corporate morality training centres
Muh SJW, kys sargon, universities were always that desu

>idea of lone genius is dead
you're fucking tiresome man, what a pathetic human being also I'm a lone genius but I don't make a fuss about it

>crypto is dying
Only the proof of work coins that are sucking the life out of our electricity and GPU prices.
Generally the future is crypto we just have to find better ways to use it.

>biotech consists of nootropics for autists and rubbish for half dead people
Garbage take all around

They are all painfully aweful and I hope they all die

A racist and a nerd, kys

It was obnoxious

>toys are dead
So is your brain

>cars are dead
No they aren't

>shopping malls are dead
If you were alive the times shopping malls were sprouting you'd still complain and say that local shops are dying and are replaced by "homogenized/centralized entities, malls", you just mentally gymnasticize something to turn it into something you can complain, because you fucking enjoy catastrophologizing, you might not realize but you enjoy the decline because it feeds you with a romantized tragic narrative you miss so much in your life
